Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 April 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I say to the Conservative Party that it needs to recognise that the Thatcher experiment with deregulated labour markets and some unwise privatisations—think Thames Water—and an economy heavily dependent upon a volatile financial sector that too often resembles a giant casino or adventure playground for private equity and hedge funds, and generates low rates of investment outside property, has failed comprehensively.
